isnt it basically just a fan which blows air into the engine? id of thought it would increase power, place in front of the afm it reads increased air, then ecu uses more fuel increasing bhp? :?

Just look at it...it's going to be a restriction more than anything.

These have been around for years, have to say that is one of the worst ones I have seen

shame they don't quote an airflow figure (unlike just about every other fan you can buy )

i suppose it would make it just too easy to prove how stupid these things are.

Don't know where exactly he plans on going high speedings in india! Limit there is about 50mph, roads are full of mini craters, driving on the left or right doesn't count, cows everywhere, cars with no lights! I would keep my ass at the speed limit when driving there!

This will run at a similar pressure to a fly's fart I'd have thought. The reason it won't work work is due to the difference between a fan and a compressor - a compressor is for compressing air (what we want here) and a fan moves air almost without compressing it. This is a fan, not a compressor.

Not even a chance it could push enough air through, would mostly just cause a restriction

So it'll just piss off the AFM at idle and run rich, but then break under acceleration?
